Adjust old time stamps to match Milne. I went going through
Milne's list one by one and did not finish, but the rest can be
done later.
* zic.c (stringoffset): Allow 24:00. POSIX.1-2008 allows 24:00,
even though older versions of POSIX maxed out at 23:59:59.
Patch from Arthur David Olson.
* southamerica: Rewrite to avoid the need for Latin-1 bytes.
Perhaps someday we should allow non-ASCII characters in commentary,
but if we do so we should use UTF-8. Reported by Andy Heninger in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2012-December/018480.html>.
See <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2012-July/018103.html>.
* localtime.c (settzname): Ensure that tzname values are set.
(tzload): Get proper behavior when the software is being run on an
unsigned-time_t system but is using data files generated on a
signed-time_t system.
Based on a patch by Joseph S. Myers in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2012-November/018452.html>.
* Makefile (BUGEMAIL): New macro.
(version.h, tzselect): Use it to define REPORT_BUGS_TO.
* tzselect.ksh (REPORT_BUGS_TO): New variable, used for --help.
* zdump.c, zic.c (usage): Use REPORT_BUGS_TO for --help.
* tz-link.htm: Prune no-longer-working URLs, update URLs that got
moved, sort a bit. The most-important casualty is the Norwegian
Meteorological Institute's web page for Summer time in Norway,
formerly at <http://met.no/met/met_lex/q_u/sommertid.html>: it's
no longer there and I can't find out where it moved to, if
anywhere.
* tzfile.5: Fix minor grammar problem.
* africa (Libya, Africa/Tripoli): Libya switched to CET
on 2012-11-10 at 02:00, and plans to switch to CEST
Mar lastFri 1:00 and switch back Oct lastFri 2:00.

E.g., "zic (tzcode) 2012i" instead of "tzcode2012i".

* Makefile (PACKAGE): New macro.
(version.h, tzselect): New constant PKGVERSION, derived from PACKAGE.
(tzselect): TZVERSION is now simply VERSION, since PACKAGE is also
output.
* tzselect.ksh (PKGVERSION): New var, which Makefile substitutes for.
(--usage, --version): Exit with nonzero status if we can't
output the help or version number.
* tzselect.ksh (--version):
* zdump.c, zic.c (main):
Output versions like this: "zdump (tzcode) 2012i".
* africa, australasia, europe, northamerica, southamerica:
* tzselect.ksh, zdump.c, zic.c:
In commentary and strings, change email address from
tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov to tz@iana.org, as the old email address
no longer works.
This fixes a bunch of "time zone abbreviation has more than 3
alphabetics" diagnostics for 'make check_public'.
* zic.c (newabbr): Check for <3 alphabetics, not for >3.
POSIX-2008 requires at least 3 and says that it's not portable to
use more than 6, which we check elsewhere.
* Makefile (ZFLAGS): Remove obsolete comment.
(check_public): Put temporary directory under this directory, not
under /tmp, as that's better if one is doing multiple builds in
parallel. Also, use the just-built zic rather than the system zic.
(clean): Remove temporary directory.
* Makefile (maintainer-clean): Clean *.asc files and *.tar.gz files.
(signatures): Use .asc instead of .sign as the extension for signatures
as this works better with other software. Reported by Phil Pennock.
* .gitignore: Also ignore .asc files.
* Makefile (public): Rewrite in terms of new rules, below.
(check_public): New rule, containing the old checking part of
'make public'.
(tarballs): New rule, containing the old tarball-making part of
'make public'. Do not run checktab twice.
(signatures, tzcode$(VERSION).tar.gz.sign, tzdata$(VERSION).tar.gz.sign):
New rules.
* Makefile (KSHELL): New macro.
(tzselect): Use it.
* tzselect.ksh: Use "#!/bin/bash", not "#! /bin/ksh". The Makefile
can override this. No need for a space after "!'; that was put in
years ago only because of an urban legend.
* Makefile (LDFLAGS): Rename from LFLAGS, with backwards compatibility.
All uses changed. Suggested by Mike Frysinger in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2012-October/018396.html>.
(zdump, zic, date): Use $(CC) -o $@ ... rather than $(CC) ... -o $@,
for portability to strict older POSIX hosts.
($(TZLIB)): Don't use [ ... -o ... ], as it's not portable.
* tz-link.htm (DC.Identifier): Move canonical location to cs.ucla.edu.
Move public-domains and corrections notices to <address>.
Update some URLs. Add Android. Mac OS X has been renamed to OS X.
* Makefile (VERSION): Increase to 2012g.
(COMMON): New macro.
(DOCS): Remove Makefile.
(ENCHILADA): Adjust to above changes.
(public): Put $(COMMON) in both tarballs, so that the version
number is in both distributions.
* australasia (WS): New rule.
(Pacific/Apia): Use it, for new DST rules for Western Samoa.
Thanks to Nicholas Pereira for the heads-up and to Robert Elz
for coding up the rules.
